Cascade Pacific Council - What is it?

The Boy Scouts of America organization has broken down the U.S. into Council's that each cover certain regions of the U.S. We are located in the Cascade Pacific Council. (It's Council # is 492.) We commonly abbreviate it to CPC. The CPC encompasses the area from SW Washington down to about Albany, Oregon & from the Oregon Coast over to about Hood River, Oregon.

The Cascade Pacific Council has some of the best Camp properties in the entire U.S. There are 4 Boy Scout Summer Camp properties in the CPC - with each being quite different & unique... They are: Camp Meriwether located on the Oregon Coast, Camp Baldwin located on the back side of Mount Hood, Camp Pioneer located east of Detroit Lake in the Cascade Mountain Range, & Camp Cooper located west of Sheridan on the east side of the Coast Range.

Boy Scout Troop from several states away will come to our Summer Camps because the Camps are so special. In particular, Camp Meriwether on the Coast with the ocean, tide pools, climbing tower, & shooting ranges. As well as Camp Baldwin on Mount Hood with horses & natural rock climbing. Baldwin is 1 of only 2 BSA horse camps in the whole U.S.
